I hv read some of your articles demonstrationg custom rendering (graph)
in subclassed listener. I saw it being done with rectangles, but what are the prospects of writing ordinary text programmatically ?
I mean without having actual report expression for it in frx.
Like you place blank shape on (entire) page and then you write
freely text/numbers at given coordinates via GDI+ calls.
Consecutively, all this gets previewed/printed later via ordinary preview/print.

Is this possible ?

Thks in advance
